SARS: Hong Kong/China 19 April

BBC, Radio Australia | libtoken

The BBC reported this morning another 12 deaths in Hong Kong from SARS. Radio Australia reported the mainland Chinese admitted to another four dozen cases, but they claimed only one more death from SARS. Why do I think the Chinese are still covering up?

Hong Kong is treating SARS with anti-virals and steroids. They announced earlier this week that they were going to become more aggressive with this treatment. It is the steroids that is causing a higher number of deaths in HK--and I bet that that is why Singapore has deaths and Toronto, but Taiwan has none (Taiwan is not using the steroid treatment).

Here is a link to the case of the SARS-suspected person who left Indonesia to fly to Hong Kong. Fortunately, the authorites in Indonesia were able to alert the airline and the Hong Kong authorities.

Here is also a link to the Reuters article about the latest situation in Asia.

You would think they would have included the number of new infections for HK.

Your chart are so good you should put them on a seperate thread each day not matter the time or the day. I know some people do not have the time to go thought threads looking for the days charts and your chart are that important. :)

[CathyRyan]

Please, Please, Please! :)

Ok. Will do.

[CathyRyan]

Thank you so much! I know it is a pain to start a thread but your hard work is so important. Thank you for all you do!!!

As the charts grow, perhaps its best to keep the main discussion thread elsewhere, so that those with limited bandwidth are not forced to constantly reload such large data packages.
